Akaan Creation myth text pg1

Published:

Description

This is the text for page three of my illuminated manuscript. This was partially done 1. for me to figure out the translation and grammar and shit for when I get to starting the design of page three (I had to convert the spoken translation to the written translation because, oddly enough they're slightly different), and 2. for NaCoWriMo set by :iconconlangers: which runs out today.

Basic English translation is:

"First there will always be Ngunai (the chaos)
Within this place exist the Chaos Gods (the Menaphe Na'ne)
This was for all time, until Akaan, one of the Menaphe Na'ne, became aware of himself and all that is/will be/has been,
Upon Akaan's awareness of himself and the all, the first surface was created, (giving the borderless chaos borders - essentially creating the waters of Nun)
Akaan passed through this first surface into Ngaian (the place of dreams and half formed things),
where Akaan began to sing.
And from his song everyone was created
And from his song the Pillar Gods (the gods that stand between the surfaces) were created
And from his song the Ngaian Spirits (Underworld/dream creatures) were created
And from his song the next surface was created"

(The next surface is the physical world and the next page)
